Of particular concern was the constitutional text's explicit claim that it was situated within a reinvigorated Hungarian legal tradition that had allegedly developed over centuries before its violent interruption during World War II, by German invaders, and later, by Soviet occupation. To explore the context and validity of this claim, and the legal traditions which have informed the stormy centuries of Hungary's constitutional development, this book brings together a group of leading historians, political scientists and legal scholars to produce a comprehensive history of Hungarian constitutional thought. Ranging in scope from an overview of Hungarian medieval jurisprudence to an assessment of the various criticisms levelled at the new Hungarian Basis Law of 2012, contributors assess the constitutions, their impacts and their legacies, as well as the social and cultural contexts within which they were drafted. The historical analysis is accompanied by a selection of original source materials, many translated here for the first time. This is the only book in English on the subject and is essential reading for all those interested in Hungary's history, political culture and constitution."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aInternational library of historical studies. 606 $aLaw$zHungary 606 $aPolitics and culture$zHungary 606 $aEuropean history$2bicssc 607 $aHungary$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLaw 615 0$aPolitics and culture 615 7$aEuropean history 676 $a349.439 702 $aHorkay Ho?rcher$b Ferenc 702 $aLorman$b Thomas 801 0$bN 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511349903321 996 $aA history of the Hungarian constitution$92548452 997 $aUNINA
